If any doubt remained that football is no longer a working-class pastime, it's been erased for good by the presence of this coffee bar outside a Premier League ground.

It wouldn't be any surprise to see them serving double-shot mochas near the Emirates, Stamford Bridge or Craven Cottage... but this stall is dishing up skinny soy milk lattes for punters at Everton's Goodison Park.

No doubt Liverpool fans are already preparing jokes about the sock-robbers needing the services of a good barista.
